Slapback that starts tight and ends up in orbit.
Instant download · 14-day refund · Terms · Privacy
Cosmic Slap is a delay with five knobs and two switches. Set the time, feed it back, and the repeats darken and saturate as they go — a tight rockabilly slap at one end, a self-oscillating wash at the other.
Tempo sync locks the time to your session; ping-pong throws the repeats across the stereo field.
Two presets, each played dry and then swept in, so you can hear what it does rather than watch knobs move. The actual plugin window — not a mock-up, not a slideshow.
Free in milliseconds, or locked to host tempo with the SYNC switch.
How many repeats — with a tone lowpass inside the loop, so each pass comes back darker than the last.
Sets how quickly the repeats lose their top end.
Wow and flutter on the repeats: tape-style drift rather than a chorus sat on top.
Dry to fully wet.
Alternates repeats left and right.
Drive is tied to the feedback amount, so pushing the repeats grows character instead of just level.
A procedural deep-space background — violet nebula, starfield, neon — with a hand-drawn alien and echo-tap shockwave rings that react to the feedback.
Time, feedback, tone, modulation and mix. No pages, no tabs, nothing hidden.
The same take, before and after. Hit play, then flip between the raw signal and the plugin doing its thing — no reload, no gap.
On Mac, unzip and drop the .component into
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and the .vst3 into
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3. On Windows, copy the .vst3 into
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. Then rescan in your DAW and it appears
under Award Audio Tools. A step-by-step INSTALL.txt is in the zip.
Yes — Cosmic Slap installs as a VST3 on both Mac and Windows. On Mac you also get an Audio Unit (AU) and a Standalone app in the same download. There is no VST2 build and no AAX build, so Cosmic Slap does not load in Pro Tools.
Anything that hosts VST3 or Audio Units — Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig, GarageBand and Luna are all covered. Logic and GarageBand use the AU; the rest use the VST3. There's also a Standalone app on Mac if you just want to plug in and play without opening a DAW.
Both. The Mac build is a Universal binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1 through M4) and Intel, on macOS 10.15 or newer, and it's Developer-ID signed and notarised by Apple, so there's no Gatekeeper warning. The Windows build is 64-bit VST3 for Windows 10 or newer. One purchase covers both — the zip contains the Mac and Windows builds together.
Cosmic Slap has no preset browser — it's a single control, so there's nothing to store beyond the knob position, which your DAW saves with the project.
No. $29 a one-off purchase with no subscription, no iLok and no dongle — you download it straight after checkout, updates are free, and the licence covers the computers you own. Whatever you make with it is entirely yours.
On Mac, unzip and drop the .component into ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and the .vst3 into ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3. On Windows, copy the .vst3 into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. Rescan in your DAW and it appears under Award Audio Tools. A step-by-step INSTALL.txt is in the zip.
